The notebook…

An excerpt from the book “The Notebook” 

A Winter for Two

…The sky was slowly changing color, and as I was watching the sun go down, I remember thinking about that brief, flickering moment when day suddenly turns into night.

        Dusk, I realized then, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time… to be always together yet forever apart?…

I pride myself for I am able to love, even if it means not to be with him. He’ll be in my heart, where my most deepest and sincerest feelings are placed…where I am most vulnerable to pain. I’ll love him there, on my own, as the song goes. But I know, it can be an illusion…treacherous and deceitful. We cannot be together, for this time, or so.. Who knows?   Though, this I am sure - he can’t discern any of these things or feelings, for he doesn’t know… there’s no need, and I am contented of it. For happiness, is a strong word linked with contentment…    Yes I am content to be together yet apart…
